This profile is not yet supported by Microsoft bluetooth stack which is used by XDA.
With a WidCom stack it is possible. Which means that you've to install a second bluetooth stack.

how many other profiles does WidCom support which ms stack dont ?

@Rudegar
Haven't tested because I use it for just network/internet access over bluetooth.
But you can judge it your self. See the 3 screen dumps.

Sorry man,but the connecting to the local Network via BT doesn't work for me ..
So,if someone succesfully did it...let me know.

@unapproachable2kx
Mine works ok!
Does your bluetooth dongle on your PC support network connection?
If yes then enable it.
Pair your devices. On your XDA run de Bluetooth wizard and see if it recognizes the network access service as can be seen on the last picture on this page.
If yes then tap on it and finish.
Connect with the created shortcut to your network.

Hello markutah,
Can you tell me which version of the WIDCOMM stack you have. I already have WIDCOMM version 1.3.1.46 which i downloaded for my iPAQ 3870 running PPC2002. So if its not the same I could download the version that you have.
Thanks

WidCom Version
@g3lo
It says: Bluetooth for Windows CE (BTW-CE)
Version 1.4.1 Build 58

Yes, that's the one!

What I mean is that it's not possible to enable both MS BT and WidCom BT at the same time. If MS BT is disabled then one is able to enable the WidCom BT and if WidCom BT is disabled then one is able to enable MS BT.

so it give me 2 icons ?
and disabling it is just disabling it as in having the icon overcross'd
not some process killing regediting actions ?

thanks i'll try and install and mess a bit with it then
because therminal services would when i login'd to my pc logout the user and disable activesync, breaking the connection which would exit therminal services if i can connect using the other stack and not use activesync with therminal services it would be good

i installed the widcomm stack and i get minor problems. when i put in a name for the bluetooth device and reset it, it comes back to the original name which is Pocket_PC.
I uninstalled it last night. Any workaround for this?

only ping works...
Hello:
I'm trying to set up a
PAN from my XDA to XP-PC over BT
Installed widcomm on xda andXP-PC
I have set the ip address on the BT network connection on the xp machine.
I can connect the PAN from the XP machine to the XDA (the other way (XDA to PC) will not work, the Widcomm stack claims the service is not available on the XP-PC; any ideas why)
I can ping from the pc to the xda and vice versa, but cannot do anything else with the connection. (no netowrk drives or internet connection)
Any ideas why?
also: my home network is on a workgroup - where can I set the workgroup name on the XDA?
thanks icarusbop

@g3lo
Delete the pairing after the change of name and pair again and this problem should be solved
Mark

Re: only ping works...
@icarusbop
-possibility 1:
Maybe your BT dongle (on the PC) doesn't support the PAN. If it does then try getting a newer version of the driver at the manufacturers site.
-Possibility 2:
On the PC side you've to enable certain services. Did you enable the network service?

I know but how to install it on Magician :wink: ?

have you tried the normal vidcomm cab files found around this forum ?
they should work for xda2's but then they were not made for xda2's so maybe it works on yours as well?

Use internet explorer / MSN over Bluetooth

Dear all,
I've tried almost everything to make a LAN bluetooth network, but no luck so far.
I've paired up my PDA with my PC, but at the end of the wizard I can't select any services, although I have a bluetooth network connection available in 'network connections'.
Is there some driver I need to install first ? I've heard something about 'PAN' for bluetooth wich is necessary for the use of internet over bluetooth ??
Can anyone help me how to do this ??
Oh yeah, I haven't got a XDA based PDA, but a DELL Axim X50v with windows mobile 2005, but i guess this is a general question wich is valid for all types of PDA's ?
Thanks in advance

the ms bluetooth stack dont support PEN
vidcomm does
or you can just connect to activesync then your pda
have the same network access as your pc unless you have
it disabled that is

I've already found the answer. (finally fieuw)
Now I can synchronize AND surf the internet through Bluetooth !!

Wlan via bluetooth

Is it possible to make a wlan via a bluetooth dongle?
The type of my dongle is ES-388.
Does anybody has experience with this type= I only can use bluesolei and I just want to use the standar MS drivers but MS doesn´t see the dongle???

Generally Yes - although not technically WLAN.
And more specifically i havent tried it on my Wizard, but did have it working on my Ipaq.
What you need:
PC with network/internet conex
BT dongle
Decent BT stack for PC - i found a lovelly guid with a "version" of a Widcom (i think) stack and a lovelly guide, trouble is the files were removed off the site shortly after i read it for "breach of copyright".
Bridge BT network (PAN) and network (LAN) to make it work.
Fraid i cant share the files as i dont have any install files. but sure Google can help

The Bluetooth Stack on the HTC Wizard does not support Personal Area Network profile (PAN), so unless you manage to hack a different stack into the wizard, no, bluetooth networking will not work.
i think.

no PAN :-o wtf is the BT stack there for? i cant see many things it CAN do really :'(

i was about to continue to bash the qtek for not having PAN, when a thought came to my mind...
IF YOU HAVE CONNECTED THE QTEK WITH CABLE AND SYNCED WITH ACTIVESYNC THE QTEK HAS NETWORK.
IF YOU CONNECT THE QTEK TO ACTIVESYNC WITH BLUETOOTH, IT HAS NETWORK, TOO!!!
I AM A D U M B A S S!!!!!

I know it's true. But I can't install my bluetooth dongle (ES-388) with the original xp drivers. So I only can use Bluesoleil and this does not work with activesync.

Bluesoleil does work with activesync - at least the version I have does with the BT dongle I have.
